The following article highlights the middle of a translation from Portuguese to English of the publication featured by Crescer and the financial impact it may have on regular Brazilians. Unless you are familiar with the story, Luiz Carlos Trabuco Cappi runs Bradesco, which is one of the largest in the country. It use to be the largest, but there was a merger of two smaller, yet powerful, banks to seize control of the top spot in the country. Things are changing, and Bradesco, along with its leader and financial superstar, Luiz Carlos Trabuco Cappi, are changing things. You may read the article in its entirety by clicking here. The information is far too vast to cover in one article. There is plenty of research done, and it is easily accessible to help explain the background of the situation.

The background of the article has to do with the struggle to control Bradesco, which Luiz Carlos Trabuco Cappi eventually took control of, and his name remains synonymous with the bank. Before he could take over, Bradesco was the largest bank and money manager in all of Brazil, which carries a lot of weight considering Brazil has the second biggest economy in all of North and South America next to the United States. That information clearly leads to the next fact, which is Brazil is biggest economy in South America. These facts keep the largest banks in Brazil very busy, popular places. A lot of money is circulated hourly. Knowing the background of the original article and Brazil’s financial standing in the Western Hemisphere, it is important to get the middle of the publication translated and available for everyone else. Below, is the translated material.

From the Revista Crescer
In addition to Luiz Carlos Trabuco Cappi, there was also the current commander of the group’s investment bank, José Luiz Acar Pedro according to infomoney.com.br. He arrived in Bradesco after the purchase of the National Credit Bank, also known as the BCN, in 1997. Another name often mentioned by analysts was that of Vale president Roger Agnelli. Like Trabuco, Agnelli was nominated for the command of Vale by Bradespar, which is the shareholding arm of Bradesco and the company’s main shareholder. It is possible that, just as happened to Trabuco in the succession of Brandão, Agnelli, 49, is still considered very young by the standards of the institution. “Trabuco was born there, knows the culture and is up to the challenge of leading a huge financial institution like Bradesco,” says Antonio Jacinto Matias, vice president of Itaú Unibanco, the largest bank in the country, formed by the merger of the two institutions. Jacinto Matias is the one that named the new top bank Itaú Unibanco at the end of 2008.

Luiz Carlos Trabuco Cappi’s name would still have to be approved at the first council meeting to be held after the general meeting scheduled for March, but there should be no surprise. Cypriano, the outgoing president, had been at the head of the bank for ten years. In his management, Bradesco bought ten banks and the banks among them were the Spanish BBVA, Boavista and BMC. Additionally, he aggressively invested in the opening of branches. As a result, the volume of credit for Bradesco doubled.

Analysis
There were several other men trying to gain control of Bradesco, and many of them were backed up or endorsed by various member branches of the bank. Also, there were several names nominated for different positions of the banks. It was clear the bank was looking for younger blood considering Roger Agnelli was 49 and only a few year younger than Luiz Carlos Trabuco Cappi. Finally, although everyone knows Luiz Carlos Trabuco Cappi took over, he had a lot of competition, and he had the big shoes of the outgoing president to fill.

Before entering the corporate world, Susan McGalla had a dream of seeing a society which respects gender equality. She noticed that leadership positions are prevalent to men, and she wanted to show the world that women are also capable of holding such positions. She entered the American Eagle Outfitters to start her career in the corporate world, and as what she expected, the management is dominated by men. She worked hard climbing the corporate ladder, and she successfully entered the executive circle after some time. She was among the first females in the company to reach the executive circle, and she never stopped from there. Her highest position with the American Eagle Outfitters is the company’s president, and she opened an opportunity with her female colleagues to strive hard in order to reach the top.

According to research, a company which has an equal ratio of men to women are 15% more likely to succeed, while a company that is ethnically diverse is 35% more likely to succeed.

Dating in the 21st century has become a challenging endeavor. The advent of the internet and the emergence of online dating sites have presumably made it easier for potential couples and single members of the society to meet and make the acquaintance of each other to developing a relationship.

Many such dating sites bring members together depending on their shared qualities, interests and characteristics to attempt and make the perfect match. However, many of these locations have more often than not become a breeding site for misogynistic men who often prey on women for their gullibility. This was the main driving force that led Whitney Wolfe to start the feminist dating site known as Bumble BFF.

Ms. Whitney Wolfe started Bumble BFF two years ago after she realized that the established dating sites did not create a safe space for women to seek love, or protect them from evil people who may try to prey on their gullibility. It is worth noting at this point that Whitney Wolfe was one of the founders of the better known and more established dating site Tinder. She left it after realizing that it promoted a dating culture that was disadvantageous to women. Ms. Whitney Wolfe believes very strongly that most of the relationship challenges that women experience so often in daily life emanate from the fact that all the control has been placed on men. The idea behind Bumble BFF, therefore, is to tilt the balance and put the power in the hands of women. Some of the noted grievances against the dating sites include harassment from men who cannot take rejection, the sending of unsolicited pictures of private parts, male preferences for women within a certain age limit and those of a particular race. Indeed, a study by the American Psychological Association shows that Tinder users had lower self-esteem and increased dissatisfaction with their looks, especially the women.

Whitney Wolfe says that Bumble BFF will not change the dating rules overnight, and charges that it will take some time. However, it is aimed at making the dating ecosystem less punishing for women and safer for them to partake in. The site involves a more vigorous user verification process and less tolerance for undesirable behavior. As a result, there have been very few cases of abuse on the site, standing at 0.005%.
